What we've been playing – Agatha Harkness, karate, and the Smurfs
9th November
Hello! Welcome back to our regular feature where we write a little bit about some of the games we’ve been playing over the past few days. This week, we’re nostalgic for how Agatha Harkness to play in Marvel Snap, we’re unexpectedly bowled over by a new Smurfs game, and we finally find a Vampire Survivors clone good enough to stand on its own. What have you been playing?
Catch up with the older editions of this column in our What We’ve Been Playing archive.

Agatha Harkness is my favourite card in Marvel Snap. When I play, I like surprises – surprises for me as much as who I’m playing against. So I play a lot of cards that add random cards to the deck: I like to be surprised by the cards in my hand. Then there’s Agatha. Agatha makes your plays for you, and then plays herself in the final round. Surprise upon surprise: I don’t know what cards I’ll be getting and I don’t even know how I’ll be playing them.

Thing is, that’s how Agatha used to work. I went in recently after a decent absence and to my horror Agatha had been changed. Now she makes plays on the even turns and the player makes turns on the odd turns. At first I was so upset by this I wanted to delete the app and stop playing forever. But I stuck it out for a bit and… it’s fine?
